Life is full of exciting adventures and interesting experiences, and one of the great benefits of living in a county like Monterey is the incredible variety of food and entertainment options available. From eating the freshest seafood on the West Coast to enjoying the beauty of nature at the beach, there is no shortage of things to do on a weekend afternoon. At Cardinale Nissan in Seaside, we like eating out to be about more than just the food. From our Monterey car dealership, here are some of our favorite food stops that incorporate something special into the experience.
Cachagua General Store
Raul N. spent years writing a column for the Monterey Herald called Off the Menu, in which he highlighted some of the best restaurants around the county. In his final article in 2012, he wrote about the #CachaguaGeneralStore, which hosted a pop-up campfire dinner for people willing to make the trek out into the wild. Since then, they have relocated to Carmel Valley Village, but are still serving up food that is both high quality and affordable. There is almost always live music being played, and the rural roadhouse setting is charming. They are open for Sunday brunch and Monday dinner.
Passionfish
It wouldn’t right if we forgot to mention about a great seafood place in Monterey, and Passionfish uses only sustainable, local seafood in its dishes. It was voted Best Restaurant in Monterey from 2011 to 2015, mostly thanks to an inventive and interesting menu. The menu changes daily based on the availability of the meat, but you can always be sure the chefs will find a unique and great tasting way to prepare it. They also offer a wide selection of wines that pair perfectly with the dishes on the menu.
Cardinale Nissan also offers a superior car buying experience that will help you find a car which fits your lifestyle and budget. Whether you are looking for a new or used Nissan Altima or need some maintenance help, be sure to visit www.cardinalenissan.com.
